The Senate announced the removal of Senator Mohamed Ali Ndume (Borno South) as Chief Whip on Wednesday, July 17. The decision was made during plenary, with members of the APC Senate Caucus endorsing his removal through a voice vote called by Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

Ndume was replaced by Tahir Mungono (Borno North) as the new Chief Whip. This development comes after Ndume's recent criticisms of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's government. The ruling party, APC, had asked Ndume to resign from the party and join an opposition party of his choice.

The Senate has sacked Muhammadu Ali Ndume as the Chief Whip and the ruling APC wrote to the Red Chamber asking the Borno born Senator to resign his membership from the party

The request was made in a letter signed by the APC's national chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, and national secretary, Barrister Ajibola Bashiru. The letter was addressed to the Senate Caucus, indicating the party's decision to remove Ndume from his leadership position.

Ndume's removal as Chief Whip is seen as a consequence of his criticisms of the government, which apparently did not align with the party's stance. The development highlights the internal dynamics within the APC and the consequences of dissenting voices within the party's ranks.
